For the toads in the pond with rich food resources, they can always look for food by themselves in an independent way and never communicate with other groups. However, as for the toads living in the pond with less food resources, such kind of toads tend to live in a group life, looking for food with their mates, and are more likely to find the unusual food they cannot eat in their daily lives.

Question 6

【讲课要点】：The professor talks about two main different characteristics between video art and film.

Example 1: one of the advantages about video art is that audience can watch it within a quite close distance. But spectators always watch the traditional films at a far distance.

Example 2: the second positive side about video art is that video art doesn’t have the beginning and ending like most of the traditional films. It has the unclear starting and finishing and the audience can decide how long they would like to watch it. Perhaps they can appreciate the beauty of the video art within several minutes.
